Ann Coulter Makes One Decent (Not Mean and Racist) Joke About John Kerry

Right-wing commentator Ann Coulter has her moments — occasionally.
One of them came today, as Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a landmark speech on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
While arguing for a two-state solution, Kerry said that a single state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea could “either be Jewish or democratic. It cannot be both.”
That spurred Coulter to unleash the ha-ha tweets.
Kerry: Israel can either be Jewish of Democratic can’t be both. Apparently he’s never been to Miami.

(Because Miami is full of Jews and also Democrats.)
It didn’t take long, however, to pivot to her everyday vitriol.
First she found a way to compare Israel’s demographic issues with the Palestinians with her pet issue of spewing hatred at Latino immigrants to the U.S.
Kerry: Israel can either be Jewish of Democratic, can’t be both. U.S. can either be American or Latin American, can’t be both.

Then she moved on to mocking Kerry’s appearance. Nice, Ann.
Kerry says he frowns on Israeli settlements. Or he would if he could frown thru the Botox.
